Graphics = "Great games" -- Does Age play a factor to this thinking?

For the record, I would think that graphics matter. I mean, it makes sense that people are superficial and therefore prefer better-looking games, right?

Wrong. Gaming history has shown us far too many console wars where the graphically inferior console wins EVERY SINGLE TIME.

PS1 vs. N64
PS2 vs. GC and Xbox
Gameboy vs. Gamegear
DS vs. PSP

It doesn't honestly make sense to me, either.

But history has SHOWN, time and time again, that customers just don't value graphics enough to allow it to affect their decision-making when it comes to console purchases.

True. Very true. Money is the #1 factor. Reason why about 80% of all PS2s sold were bought at 199 or less, in NA anyway.
